AI visibility benchmark · first-party data
How often AI recommends creative studios
We asked AI engines the questions buyers ask, like "brand designer for my business", and counted how often each of 14 creative studios was named.
What we found
AI named the average creative studio in 28.8% of the answers we checked, above the 20.8% average across all 1,584 businesses we measured.
2 of the 14 were never named in any answer. 5 were named in half or more.
On their own websites, the weakest signal in this category is trust and credibility and the strongest is site health. Across all our research, off-site brand recognition is the signal that most separates the businesses AI names from the ones it ignores.
Method: the latest report for each business in the Are you found by AI? corpus, 27 June to 29 September 2026. A business's percentage is the share of saved AI answers that named it, counting every repeat of each question. Failed or missing answers don't count against it, and businesses without countable answers are left out. Only categories with 12 or more businesses are published. Aggregates only, never an individual business.

The category average is not your number. The free scan asks ChatGPT and Gemini two of your buyers' questions and shows who they name.
